Spring. Someday ...

Angelo, always a fan of flowers, created a lovely post of lovely images of lovely flowers in lovely, artful arrangements, arrangements that hearken back to the floral subjects of the paintings of the Dutch masters.

Which reminded me of this picture of birthday flowers from mom one year. I took only one shot and was surprised and delighted by how much it looked like a painting. For now, this is as close as I'm getting to spring.

We're due to get a dusting of snow tonight, a half-inch or so, which better know that it is expected to melt on its own tomorrow, because I put away the shovel for the season and I'm not about to fetch it to clear a half an inch.
